A/71/302 sanitation based on the world population in 1990 and 2015, and moreover did not define which “half” of the countries’ populations should be prioritized . 54. It is clear that the various drivers for development cooperation in water and sanitation in recent decades have been predominantly inspired by principles other than the human rights framework and that the processes and outcomes of billions of dollars invested in developing countries, particularly in the least developed countries, have barely involved human rights-based interventions. Principles such as equality and non-discrimination, access to information, participation, accountability and sustainability have not been mainstreamed in the relevant policies. Nor has the human rights principle of progressive realization using the maximum available resources been a priority in a number of countries. Furthermore, some normative content with respect to the human rights to water and sanitation has also been neglected in those processes, especially affordability and acceptability, the former having been impacted by cost-recovery policies attached to development cooperation and the latter by the common practice of technology transfer without due attention to the sociocultural preferences of the target populations. It is important to emphasize that cultural acceptability must be defined by the rights holders, not the duty-bearers, so that levels and quality of access will not be determined on the basis of the stereotypes held by entities linked to duty-bearers. 2. Development cooperation after 2015 55. It is clear that the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals will require unprecedented cooperation between countries and the development of strong cooperation strategies and actions. The Addis Ababa Action Agenda, adopted at the Third International Conference on Financing for Development and endorsed by the General Assembly in 2015 (resolution 69/313), provides a comprehensive set of policy actions by Member States, with a package of over 100 concrete measures to finance sustainable development, transform the global economy and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. 56. A joint initiative of the Secretary-General and the World Bank Group created the High-level Panel on Water to provide support in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. The 10-member panel is comprised of Heads of State or Government; the Panel has two special advisers. The declared aim of the Panel is the mobilization o f action to accelerate the implementation of Goal 6 and its related targets. 57. In order to effectively incorporate the human rights to water and sanitation in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, particularly with respect to development cooperation, an adequate architecture must be established to assist in the formulation, guidance, management and support of the development agenda. That architecture should ideally place the normative content of the human right s to water and sanitation at the centre of the specific processes related to Goal 6 overall and targets 6.1 and 6.2 specifically. The Panel should be acutely aware of the need to base its recommendations in human rights principles and the normative content of the human rights to water and sanitation, as outlined in the present report. In so doing, the Panel should be able to duly address concerns raised by civil society organizations regarding the possible propensity to predominantly favour a business oriented approach to the sector. 50 The establishment of an entity with greater __________________ 50 18/24 See letter from the Blue Planet Project and others, available from http://blueplanetproject.net/ documents/bpp-unsg-letter-0416.pdf. 16-13590
